re: Top revenue athletic programs in the country

In any single year the numbers can be skewed. You definitely don't want to spend more than you take in on the reg like FSU does. I don't believe they made 11 mil last year, as they are always broke and trying to weasel money out of the state and local gov't to pay for things.

Am I to believe that OU only makes 2mm per year?

Or that Tenn loses millions of dollars?

The expense column varies a lot from year to year, particularly when schools are involved in huge sports related construction.

UGA really needs to do something with their basketball arena. When they do, they'll have a negative hit to expenses for an extended period.

UGA made a lot of big investments in minor sports facilities in the 90's when Charles Knapp was president. Because of that we've needed to spend relatively little for quite a long time as they've held up pretty well.

For example, the Ramsey/SPACE center pool was top 10 in the nation facility wise for a long time. It's probably in the 10-20 range now, but that's still pretty solid for a 30 year old facility that we haven't had to spend much money on.
